COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - Neighbors in one part of the Fountain City now fearing they may have to deal with more intruders after one homeowner shot a suspect trying to break in, according to the Columbus Police Department.

The incident happened just after 10 p.m. Monday on Kingsberry Street in east Columbus, leaving one Phenix City man dead.

“That scares me. It scares me because a lot of people in this neighborhood are single parents," said one concerned neighbor who asked us not identify her, for fear of being targeted. "They live by themselves with their children, it's pretty scary."
